War #8 - Rules

[Afdarenty]

Conversion: Teams have the option to convert some of their cards. This means that they can replace any card in their Vault with a Pillar or a Pendulum of their element. Converting helps teams to avoid a situation where they would be otherwise forced to build "suicide" decks. Teams have unlimited conversions each round, including before round 1.

So there is no limit on conversion? Next time I'll read the whole thing, I promise.

Are member roles permanent, or can we change them round to round?

Are the vault restrictions like 50+% in-element, 24 per card (in element), 9 per card (out element) applied only when building the vault or does it have to adhere to them at all times?

Only building vault

General is permanent. Lt can be changed.

Minor grammatical mistake:

A general cannnot rank list players who:
Were drafted in a previous round already;
Banned the general's element

Otherwise, I'm neutral about these rules so far.. Maybe it will change once things started.
Hopefully not in the negative way. ^^"

Hi,

Great job on the rule set - I can imagine that it takes a ton of time to think through all of the different possible ways that these rules affect the balance of War.
I have a question about relics and event cards.

"Vault building rules:
...
You may not have Shards or Relics in your vault."

and then:

"Deck building rules:
...
Teams may spend a relic to grant 1 extra upgrade to a deck. There is no limit to how many relics may be spent per round. However, event cards may change the ability of relics each round, so pay close attention"

The first rule would seem to prevent teams from getting relics, but the second shows how important they are to get. I know that in previous Wars, teams got relics from event cards. Is that going to be the same this War as well? Are there going to be other ways of getting relics (e.g. there was a suggestion that winning at least one battle per round would grant a relic to each team)?

Here are the cards relic

and here relic are extra upgraded cards to use

edit:I think they should use another nomenclature to extra upgraded cards

Some event cards will grant relics. Relics are not part of the vault.

OK, thanks to both of you (Vangelios and CuCN) for the clarification. Does that mean that Relics have to be used in the round where they are given (by an event card) or can they be carried over to subsequent rounds?

[CuCN]

Relics do not have to be used in the round they are earned, and they will carry over to the next round if not used.

Thanks again for the clarification.

All the bids are "blind" this war? I remember last war(s) people were bidding on the player's auction topic once a certain round ended.

Bids will only be revealed after each draft round is over.
